Research interests

My work focuses on data analysis. Most of my research relates to the study of life course trajectories and events. I have a specific interest for Sequence Analysis, a technique aimed at identifying patterns in categorical longitudinal data, as well as for all the approaches to deal with this type of data.

Being very keen to cooperation, I coauthored a number of paper focused on different data. In particular, in 2020/2021 I worked on data on COVID-19.

I love coding, and on my Github page (https://github.com/raffaellapiccarreta) I upload some codes (not too many because I am very slow) related to my research and to my teaching activity. In particular, at the moment you find there the beta version of the package UBStats that I developed (together with Sergio Venturini) to simplify the application of basic stats using R/RStudio...
